Internal rhyme

Rhyme in which at least one of the rhyming words is somewhere within a line of poetry; both rhyming words are often in the same line.
Examples: Every other line in "The Cloud" by Percy Bysshe Shelley has internal rhyme:

"I bring fresh showers for the thirsting flowers,
From the seas and the streams;
I bear light shade for the leaves when laid
In their noon-day dreams.
From my wings are shaken the dews that waken
The sweet buds every one,
When rocked to rest on their mother's breast,
As she dances about the Sun.
I wield the flail of the lashing hail,
And whiten the green plains under,
And then again I dissolve it in rain,
And laugh as I pass in thunder. "
